Description:
Bird's Song is a sculptured painting of tribute to the jazz legend Charlie Parker,
also known as "Yardbird". This art focuses on the relationship between improvisational
jazz music and abstract expressionistic artistry. This musically inspired masterwork
is comprised of a tinted saxophone mounted on a wooden base. Acrylic gels, and
glosses were incorporated with different types of feathers. These feathers were
then sculpted in and around the saxophone valves and base. Layers of paint were
also formed and sculpted to illustrate an erupstion of color and expression from
the top to the bell. This work of tribute was ment to highlight the passion and
talent of jazz artist Charlie "Yardbird" Parker. A truly amazing saxophonist who
gained wide recognition for his brilliant solos and innovative improvisations.
He was, without a doubt, one of the most influential and talented musicians in
jazz history.
